Bonus Content: Three-Person Pony Apocalypse

To heck with movies, it’s time to talk about some kiddy cartoons.

CLICK HERE or on the image above to download a bonus episode in which guest hosts Clarissa and Gerald from AnimeWorldOrder help Paul review My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Review in a Nutshell:  Our topics of the discussion run the gamut of gender roles, feminism, intertextuality, mythology, and the nature of strong characters and clever writing.

We explore thoroughly what it means to be adults enjoying a cartoon meant for children.  This podcast is a counterpoint to the one published by Jeremy and company over at Destroy All Podcasts DX.

NOTE:  Matthew’s laptop broke a fan during the recording, so the quality of his track isn’t ideal.  We apologize for the buzzing sound.

Review in a Nutshell:  Freaked is a truly strange comedy with incredible special effects, amazing production design, and a surprisingly diverse cast.  It has to be seen to be believed.
